Indirect composite moulding

Course Instructors: Deirdre Beekmans, Freek Gols Linthorst Extensive wear cases remain a challenge for many dentists. What do you do in cases of severe wear? Porcelain or composite? Direct or indirect? Porcelain is expensive and unforgiving. Composite, on the other hand, offers more control, is easy to correct and repair, and is also more affordable. By using composite indirectly—where you fabricate the restorations yourself on a silicone mold—you save a significant amount of chair time and avoid the drawbacks of finishing associated with, for example, “stamping” or injection molding. Billing is also simpler, since these are indirect restorations. During this intensive one-day hands-on course, you’ll learn step by step how to fabricate indirect composite onlays yourself on a silicone model. The technique combines the precision of indirect work with the advantages of composite: minimally invasive, aesthetic, and efficient, as well as adaptable and repairable. These are qualities that are particularly desirable for patients with tooth wear. Discover how learning to work with indirect composite will enable you to plan and carry out even the most complex wear-related cases with confidence on your own. – Diagnosis and indication of tooth wear – Choosing between direct and indirect treatment – Material selection – Communication with the laboratory – Recording the bite using a leaf gauge – Fabrication of composite onlays – Cementation of composite onlays – Maintenance of onlays Van der Valk Hotel Amsterdam Zuidas, Tommaso Albinonistraat, Amsterdam, Netherlands
